Lomandroideae
Lomandroideae is a subfamily of monocot flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, order Asparagales, according to the APG III system of 2009. The subfamily name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, '' Lomandra''. The group has previously been treated as a separate family Laxmanniaceae. In the Kubitzki system, it is treated as Lomandraceae Lotsy.Conran, J. G.:Lomandraceae (1998) in Kubitzki, K.(Editor): ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'', Vol.3. Springer-Verlag. Berlin, Germany. The subfamily consists of some 15 genera and about 180 species from Australasia, southeast Asia, the Americas and the Pacific Islands. The best-known genus is ''Cordyline''.

Asparagaceae
Asparagaceae, known as the asparagus family, is a family of flowering plants, placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots. The family name is based on the edible garden asparagus, '' Asparagus officinalis''. Those who live in the temperate climates may be surprised to learn that this family includes both common garden plants as well as common houseplants. The garden plants include asparagus, yucca, bluebell, and hosta, and the houseplants include snake plant, corn cane, spider plant and plumosus fern. Taxonomy In earlier classification systems, the species involved were often treated as belonging to the family Liliaceae. The APG II system of 2003 allowed two options as to the circumscription of the family: either Asparagaceae ''sensu lato'' ("in the wider sense") combining seven previously recognized families, or Asparagaceae ''sensu stricto'' ("in the strict sense") consisting of very few genera (notably '' Asparagus'', also '' Hemiphylacus''), but nevertheless tot ...

Sowerbaea
''Sowerbaea'' is a small genus of perennial herbs which are endemic to Australia. The genus is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae. It has also been included in Anthericaceae and Liliaceae. Some species may have annual above-ground growth. The habit is erect or climbing. Leaves are alternate. The flowers are grouped into umbels or other kinds of clusters. They may be white, pink, or shades of purple. The genus was first described by James Smith in 1798. The first species to be described, ''Sowerbaea juncea'' Andrews (1800), was in the ''Botanists Repository'', with a 1798 illustration of a specimen growing in England. The seeds of the species were cultivated in England, sometime shortly after the founding of the colony in New South Wales. Smith also described the species in the same year as Andrews, using the same name, but since the Andrews name was published first it is his description regarded as having priority. The next species to be described ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Murchisonia
''Murchisonia'' was a genus of perennial herbs in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae. There were two known species. In 2016, both were recognized as closely related to '' Thysanotus'' species, therefore ''Murchsonia'' was merged into ''Thysanotus''. The two recognized species were: *''Murchisonia fragrans'' Brittan – now '' Thysanotus fragrans'' (Brittan) Sirisena, Conran & T.Macfarlane, endemic to Western Australia *''Murchisonia volubilis'' Brittan – now ''Thysanotus exfimbriatus'' Sirisena, Conran & T.Macfarlane, native to Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory The Northern Territory (commonly abbreviated as NT; formally the Northern Territory of Australia) is an Australian territory in the central and central northern regions of Australia.

Romnalda
''Romnalda'' is a genus of monocotyledonous plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae. (They have also been placed in the Xanthorrhoeaceae.) four formally named species are known and accepted by botanical science. The name ''Romnalda'' is an anagram of '' Lomandra'', a related though more common genus of hard–leaved lily-like plants. The genus ''Romnalda'' differs from Lomandra in growing exclusively in rainforests and having sparsely branched inflorescences with no spines. Plants have strap-like leaves and grow up to one metre (3 feet) tall often with a trunk and stilt roots reminiscent of a miniature '' Pandanus''. Species of ''Romnalda'' grow naturally in Queensland and Papua New Guinea. Species * '' R. grallata'' – restricted to cloud forests on a few misty peaks in the Daintree Rainforest, Wet Tropics region, north-eastern Queensland. * '' R. ophiopogonoides'', synonym: ''Romnalda'' sp.

Asparagales
Asparagales (asparagoid lilies) is an order of plants in modern classification systems such as the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Web. The order takes its name from the type family Asparagaceae and is placed in the monocots amongst the lilioid monocots. The order has only recently been recognized in classification systems. It was first put forward by Huber in 1977 and later taken up in the Dahlgren system of 1985 and then the APG in 1998, 2003 and 2009. Before this, many of its families were assigned to the old order Liliales, a very large order containing almost all monocots with colorful tepals and lacking starch in their endosperm. DNA sequence analysis indicated that many of the taxa previously included in Liliales should actually be redistributed over three orders, Liliales, Asparagales, and Dioscoreales. The boundaries of the Asparagales and of its families have undergone a series of changes in recent years; future research may lead to fur ...
